Prompts to Use
Act as a friendly tech guide. I am a {my_profession} who has never used AI before. I want to understand how {ai_tool_name} uses the information I type into it. Please explain in very simple, non-technical words: 1) What data is collected when I chat? 2) How is it used? 3) How do I stop it from saving my chats for training? Format the answer as a short, easy-to-read list.
